Trackball alternatives?

[crashdmj]

Are there any alternatives to trackballs for use as a mouse? I noticed motorfish had a cool little nobby thing but I couldn't find anyone more info on it?
Thanks

Oh and very off topic, anyone remember the name of an old nes game where your a ninja in a jungle surrounded by tons of trees and I belive the screen scales up the higher you go? I told you it was off topic....

The Headway doess look pretty fun to try out...once mabey.

 At first I read the description quickly and thought it said you could use it for a trackball. Imagine playing Capcom Bowling and getting whiplash from snapping your head back and forth!
 
But just think of all the havok that piece of equipment would cause during regular use. Everytime you look down at the keyboard to type, you drop a file in the taskbar tray! LOL

Pretty useless !

I didn't even read the description, i just  saw it and thought it would be a great idea for flying/star wars/cockpit games - you see a mig or tie fighter closing in, glance at it and *poof*- no more tie fighter..:-)
